yocto-project-qs, poky.ent: Added "pexpect" to essential packages

2017-02-03T09:51:32+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10889] Missing this package. Speculation is that this package was part of the Python 2.7 stuff but not Python 3. So, adding it clears the issue up. (From yocto-docs rev: fc6bfab923f18a8ec91e29fed2404690d0afeb5d) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation: Prepare for 2.2.1 release

2017-01-11T17:23:10+00:00

* poky.ent - changed variables appropriately for 2.2.1 * - updated the manual revision tables to have a new 2.2.1 entry indicating a "January 2017" release * mega-manual.sed - Updated the "2.2" string to "2.2.1" so links will work.

dev-manual: Updated "Building an Initial RAM Filesystem (initramfs) Image" section

2017-01-11T17:23:10+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #7096] Applied a couple review comments to the section to clarify where to set key variables. Also fixed an incorrect variable name used to specify the *.cpio file.

dev-manual: Fixed "recipetool create" example

2017-01-11T17:23:10+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10763] The final example in the section describing how to create the base recipe using receipetool create was wrong. I updated it to use the -d option in addition to the -o opetion. I also changed the description to match appropriately. (From yocto-docs rev: 749970f4394af3855751c776689b7002232f2d13) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

dev-manual, ref-manual: Created new section on initramfs

2017-01-11T17:23:10+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #7096] We did not document how to create an initramfs image to be included with a kernel build. Various variables sort of inferred the knowledge. I created a new section in the "Common Tasks" section of the dev-manual that describes how to create an initramfs image. Also, I updated the kernel.bbclass reference section to point back to the new "how-to" section. Finally, I also created a bunch of cross-reference links from various related variables back to the new "how-to" section.

ref-manual, dev-manual: Removed term "wic-partitioned"

2017-01-11T17:23:10+00:00

This term was incorrect and I have replaced it with the term "partitioned." (From yocto-docs rev: af1bf889bf862b1bc861de72888a82e25997ab71) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

sdk-manual: Added note about nullpointer error for launch eclipse

2017-01-11T17:23:10+00:00

Fixes [YOCTO #10714] Apparently there is some issues with GTK3 libraries for the Mars Eclipse version. The note provides a workaround that requires editing the eclipse.ini file.
